Teaching Football Skills The Cool Down

The cool-down is as important as the warm-up; however, it is often ignored. Abruptly stopping an activity may cause pooling of the blood and slow the removal of waste products in the athlete’s body. It may also cause cramps, soreness and other problems for Special Olympics athletes. The cool-down gradually reduces the body temperature and heart rate and speeds the recovery process before the next training session or competitive experience. The cool-down is also a good time for the coach and athlete to talk about the session or competition. A thorough cool-down also disperses most of the lactic acid that accumulates in the muscles during a hard workout. Not cooling down properly after intense exercise leads to stiff and painfully sore muscles the next day.

The Cool-Down

Activity Slow aerobic run Light stretching

Purpose Lowers body temperature Gradually reduces heart rate Removes waste from muscles

Time (minimum) 5 minutes 5 minutes

The warming up and cooling down process is of paramount importance to the well-being of the player’s safety, and role of the coach is to make sure that the player has adequately followed his instructions.
